Episode 4: Hopkins Military Academy Reality Check: "Hopkins Military Academy" never existed. The statements made on the MTV site are part of the atmosphere of "Fear". "Fear" is an entertainment show. The only reality of Fear is the participant's reactions to frightening stories. A good understanding of the difference between fact and fiction is a must! Scary stories are made up and told to the participants to increase their fear in an unfamiliar environment. The statements posted on the MTV web page are not true, they are just scary stories told to create a horror television show. As many residents of Virginia know, this episode of Fear was filmed at a military academy in Virginia. This historic site is heavily guarded, so an unauthorized day trip is definitely not recommended! You can,
however, officially visit the museum at the school, and I enourage you to do
so. Please consider leaving a donation when you visit to
assist in the $250,000 renovation costs associated with
this site. The renovation of this Augusta County landmark
was accomplished by the AMA Alumni Association , Inc., a
non-profit Virginia corporation. The museum opened in
May, 2000. The facility is open to the public, free of
charge, on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays from 10 to 5.
It is handicapped accessible. Phone 540-248-3007 for
additional information. Haunted Schools Augusta isn't the only school to have it's share of ghosts.... Ohio University has it's haunted Wilson Hall Patapsco Female Institute was once a lovely school.
